Title
The Telescoping Series-Examined
Synopsis
The telescoping Series is a method for examining the convervence of infinite series of the form: This method, combined with partial fraction decomposition, is frequently effective. This paper will examine when the telescoping series is appropriate and simplify the summation process involving rational and transcendental functions.
